COMING UP:
FIFTH ANNUAL ELECTIVE SURGERY SPECIAL FOR CATS

For the past few Octobers or Novembers we offered all feline elective surgeries at
a 50% discount in order to help out with all the newly maturing kittens from the previous summer. This community special has been a dramatic success. If there is an adolescent kitten in your family, remember these special six weeks at our hospital, now scheduled from:
                                   November 1st through December 15th.

   More details next newsletter!

GARDEN TIPS: SAFE PLANTS

If unplanned periodic demolition of the garden by the family dog is a fact of life, it is good to know the plants he or she is chewing up are non-toxic. It may not help the garden any, but knowing your pet isn’t going to get sick because of it is one less thing to worry about. This month’s featured safe garden plants that are safe for your pets are presented below:

The Blushing Bromeliad (Neoregelia carolinae) The Coral Lily (Lilium pumilum)

WHAT’S NEW ON OUR WEB SITE (since last month)

OVER THE COUNTER TOPICAL FLEA PRODUCTS
The flea products we use and recommend here at the hospital are (supposedly) only available through a veterinary hospital. There are similar products, however, available at your local grocery, and they claim to be as good. Are they? Visit this page to find out exactly what you get, how it works and what you should be cautious about.

Note: This page from now on will be accessable from our Pharmacy Center main page, as will pages comparing the flea products we normally recommend (Advantage, Frontline and Revolution), a page comparing several Heartworm preventives and a page discussing medications for Degenerative Arthritis.

EUTHANASIA AT OUR HOSPITAL
No one really likes to talk  about this subject but eventually most of us have questions about how this is done, how to make this decision, and how to cope.  There is actually an extensive body of writing on this subject. Feel free to use this page in The Pet Web Library as a starting point and follow the links for more information.
